On a dating website... Not here lol. I have been inactive for too long so I do not think I would be a great candidate for an NG Mod, since the last time I was heavily active, this site had a completely different layout and probably now has a significantly new mod staff. But yeah, OKCupid decided I would be helpful for some reason and it sure is an interesting thing to do lemme tell ya. Not too many dick pics to tell you the truth. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Yeah I turned 21 at some point. I promised to return to this site at least on my birthday each year and I didn't get around to it this time around, at least, not on time. Things have been very weird for me. A lot has changed. I am admittedly not in a good place right now, though I might be moving in the right direction. I have not finished my associates degree and as time passes on I honestly care less and less about it. I am just so "done" with school I just wanna work. Part of me really believes that school is a trap for a lot of people. I learned a lot about my parents, particularly my father in the past year and some months. My father is a lunatic. He has a moderately unrealistic and loose grip on reality and superimposes all of his stupidity and rash decisions on everyone immediately close to him and everyone as far as he is concerned is not as smart as him. So he ran far away but fervently maintains the suggestion that he has not gone anywhere, or that he hasn't left me but only my mother; he is Tyler Durden I suppose? Anyway yeah my life has kind of crumbled and fallen apart but my goal now I suppose is that I will rise from the ashes, at the very least, alive. If I can survive myself then I will definitely be better. My aspirations and dreams are all still the same, just buried deep within a thick hazey veil of clinical depression and too much sleep. On a positive note I am volunteering for a local political candidate who is running against an 11 term career-congressman in my district (NJ-2). I can't tell how likely his chances of winning are but I am glad to be involved. If I am successful then I helped bring some amazing change to my town and if not then I tried really hard at something everybody said was impossible but at least I tried and that's just what we all need to do. I may be depressed as shit and crazy but at least I can still try, and therefor, have a fighting chance.

Well as I promised, here is an update. I am still alive. This past February, I turned 20. When I signed up for this site, I was 12.

I doubt anyone who used this site when I was a frequent user still uses this site anymore often than rarely. This site has changed so much but I still like it. I can navigate it fine enough I suppose but now it's like upgrading from a basic flip-phone to an iPhone 6 or whatever it is you kids are playing with nowadays. Those portable computers.

I am working towards a degree which I should have by the time I am 21, and then I will get a Bachelors hopefully by 23 or 24 and I will be on my way towards making something awesome of myself. I hope to be a published author and to write for television. If I am successful in this and become wealthy then I will share my wealth.

I am pretty sure by now that I do not want to have kids when I get older but I don't know what will wind up happening. Accidents happen, and minds do tend to change with the times much like a tree changes shape throughout its life. But a tree still stays a tree. So no matter how much I may seemingly change over my life, I am confident that I will always be me.

Well, this is my last year to be a teenager. Next one is 20. Looking back at my post for the 18th I noticed some changes, like shortly after my birthday I did get a job. I did get a new car. I shaved my sideburns a few days ago but they'll be back. College isn't too bad, but my work ethic kinda is. I need to work on that. I even started writing a novel. When I finish it maybe I'll post a link on here. I might even post some stuff to the audio portal that was actually made by my grandpa and not me. I did encounter sex. Turns out it's not quite what I thought it would've been. She was a bitch though so oh well. Well I hope this website will still be around for my 20th, I'll see you guys then.

I said I'd be back in a year and I did it, more or less. Wow, 18 already, where'd all the time go. I'm already almost done high school and then college. Shit. I remember registering here when I was only 12. 12! Now I have sideburns and a broken car. Again, where'd the time go :c I've seen this website change it's layout...twice, I think. Now I hardly have enough time to ever come on here anymore. I'm not even really doing much, just, sitting around doing what I can to get money lol. No actual job, just chores and stuff. Economy man. It's a tough world out there kids, don't get too used to this website xD Well, see ya in another year, for my nineteenth.

On February 23 a movie by Joel Schumacher, starring Jim Carrey, will be released entitled 'The Number 23'. The story centers around a book given to the main character ( Carrey ) that seems to echo the events in his life and features prominently the phenomena that has come to be known as "The 23 Enigma". The 23 enigma is the belief that every event is somehow related to the number 23. This is sometimes misattributed to the science of Numerology although, that is incorrect. Like the '9-11' phenomenon wherein coincidences of the number 911 are charted and listed, the 23 enigma may be nothing more than a particular example of the confirmation bias in cognitive theory know as apophenia - the experience of finding connections or patterns in random, meaningless data. The adherents of the 911 phenomenon find a good portion of these coincidences by manipulating numbers to arrive at a desired outcome ( negating the possibility of true coincidence ) and many of the examples given in the numerous lists regarding the 23 enigma share this trait. Robert Anton Wilson himself, whose work explores some of these interesting coincidences regarding the number 23, comments that the phenomenon merely shows how the mind can find 'truth' in anything if it wishes to see it.

However there are some genuine coincidences ( or synchronicities ) that feature the number 23 and these are often interesting to ponder as harmless amusements, a few of which we will list here. Owing to popular culture there are also many instances where the enigma is intentionally evoked in artistic works that feature some reference to 23. If you should decide to provisionally accept the phenomenon as a true example of synchronicity in action do not be surprised if you begin to see the number 23 everywhere as it becomes what is know in psychology as a self-fulfilling prophecy. Whether you see it or not, have fun. 23 times over!
